Upon seeing the sweet smile on Zheng Xiaoguang's face, Tong Xiangyang felt quite uncomfortable.

He thought, "It was I who met Flowing Light first. I've played together with her since she was at around level 40. I accompanied her to level 80+, but she suddenly married another guy in the game."

He had to admit that he had missed the best opportunity because of his hesitation. He had forced himself to remain sensible when he found himself attracted to Flowing Light. He kept telling himself that a virtual relations.h.i.+p was unrealistic and that he should go on blind dates to find a wife as soon as possible to meet his parents' expectations.

He kept his love for her to himself and planned to accompany her until she quit the game.

Nevertheless, it was hard for him to hide his affection sometimes. Gradually, Soft-heartedness is a Disease and Mulberry on the Grave discovered his affection for Flowing Light and encouraged him to confess to her.

Softhearted said directly, "If you like her, you should let her know. Even if you can't become a couple in real life, you can get married in the game. Life is too short to live with regrets."

Therefore, he jokingly proposed to Flowing Light.

"Hey, Flowing Light. As no one else wants to marry you, I'll do you a favor and make you my wife."

Flowing Light replied, "Huh? No. Games are games. I don't want to get married in any game."

Although she refused him, he thought that it was alright. After all, she did not refuse him because she did not like him. He thought, "That's not a big deal. As long as we can continue to play the game together, we can be considered a couple in the game."

To his surprise, on June 1, which was Children's Day, she married Bluegreen-Clad, the gang boss of the League of Strong Families and a well-know G.o.d-like player on the server.

He understood why she made such a decision. After all, girls seldom turn down G.o.d-like players. Upon seeing the game message which informed everyone of the wedding of Flowing Light and Bluegreen-Clad, he had to admit, although he did not want to, that the girl he loved was just one of those brainless girls who would be attracted to G.o.d-like players.

He trusted his own judgement and thought, "If Flowing Light was not such a brainless girl, why would she marry Bluegreen-Clad? She even didn't know him before."

Despite that, he still felt reluctant to leave her.

He did not give up and decided to wait. He believed that Flowing Light and Bluegreen-Clad would end up getting a divorce sooner or later as such a G.o.d-like player seldom took a girl seriously

Just as he expected, not long after they got married, the G.o.d-like player's fiancée, Venus Will Cry, suddenly popped out and sent someone to kill Flowing Light. Later, she even fought against Flowing Light for some purple equipment. Bluegreen-Clad handled the first incident properly but to everyone's surprise, he let Venus Will Cry have the purple equipment.

Tong Xiangyang was filled with indignation and sent out lots of messages on the Public Chat channel, seeking to buy Flowing Light a doctor's purple necklace. He wanted to make her happy and let her see what a good guy he was.

Nevertheless, when he was about to pull Flowing Light into his team to get the purple necklace that he had just bought, Bluegreen-Clad showed off the Spiritual Deer Necklace at +8 rank and courted lots of envy on the Public Chat channel. He looked at the purple necklace that had just been unlocked and fell silent.

This was the first time that he had felt inferior to the rich G.o.d-like players.

Afterwards, when Flowing Light got framed and kicked out of the League of Strong Families, Bluegreen-Clad could always solve the problem. When Tong Xiangyang wanted to get back at Venus for Flowing Light and sent out Public Chat messages, asking for Venus' coordinates, Flowing Light complained that he caused troubles for her.

He thought dejectedly, "Why? Does she think that no matter what I do, I can't compete with Bluegreen-Clad?"

He felt even more disappointed, when Flowing Light came back to the League of Strong Families and went everywhere together with Bluegreen-Clad.

When he was about to quit the game, s.h.i.+ny Sky held a "Beauty Contest" and the "ex-fiancée" of Bluegreen-Clad went viral. He considered this an opportunity since he believed that a G.o.d-like player would always prefer a pretty girl. He contacted Flowing Light again and tried to find out what she was thinking.

Beyond his expectations, Bluegreen-Clad ended this thing within a week and continued to enjoy the game together with Flowing Light.

He thought, "Maybe this is the end of this short love story. Maybe I should not have liked her in the beginning. I should quit this game now. It's not fun to see her being together with the G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad everyday while hating myself for being so useless."

Given this, he quit the game without saying goodbye to Flowing Light.

He thought that everything was over and he could continue to go on blind dates. To his disappointment, he did not meet any girl he liked. When he went on a blind date arranged by Yang Sisi, he met Zheng Xiaoguang and decided not to contact her after the date as she said that she did not like to play online games.

He had never hoped even in his wildest dreams that he would meet Flowing Light in person. He was so surprised to find out that Flowing Light was Zheng Xiaoguang and she also lived in R City.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have suffered so many sleepless nights where he was perplexed at whether a virtual relations.h.i.+p could become real. If he had not hesitated for such a long time, Bluegreen-Clad would have never gotten a chance with Flowing Light and left him no choice but to leave her silently and painfully.

The moment he discovered that Flowing Light was Zheng Xiaoguang, he was thrilled, as this relations.h.i.+p that he had once considered to be impossible suddenly came within his reach. He thought that he must have been favored by destine and believed that they were meant to be.

Beyond his expectations, when he invited Zheng Xiaoguang to watch a movie together with him, he got turned down.

Although she refused him politely and gave him a reasonable explanation, he still refused to believe her. As such, he logged into his master's account Landscape Painter and found out that Flowing Light was online.

He joined her team in the name of a trainer. To his surprise, he found out that Flowing Light and Bluegreen-Clad were close.

She even said that Bluegreen-Clad was her husband.

She could never imagine how angry he was upon seeing that sentence. He really wanted to ask her if she liked only G.o.d-like players in the game at that time but he managed to suppress that urge.

He pretended to be Landscape Painter and made a few discreet inquiries with her, trying to find out her att.i.tude toward him.

He was surprised upon knowing that she had taken his proposal as a joke.

He finally came to realize that she had misunderstood him and he had kept missing his opportunities.

He was not willing to give up so much so that he would rather stay on her team and suffer from depression upon seeing her being together with the G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad.

He stayed there on the excuse of making money by helping them to gain levels, but in fact, he just wanted to see what she was doing after turning him down.

He thought dejectedly, "She refused me just because she wants to fight monsters and gain levels together with the G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad. Nevertheless, this G.o.d-like Bluegreen-Clad is away from the keyboard all the time. He doesn't accompany her in the game. He can't do that either in real life.

'When she refused me, she said that she had an appointment, but in fact, she has to eat lunch alone.

"Given this, why don't I go to find her?" With this in mind, he asked Yang Sisi to give him Zheng Xiaoguang's address and then delivered some lunch food to her home.

He planned to enjoy the lunch together with her and prove to her that they were well-matched by his actions. He wanted her to accept his love, but she turned him down again because of Bluegreen-Clad．

He complained inwardly, "What's so great about Bluegreen-Clad? He lives far away and can't drive her home, give her a treat or go shopping with her after work. Only I can do that for her!"

He refused to accept the fact and asked Zheng Xiaoguang again. "Are you sure that you don't like me at all?"

"I like you as a good friend." Zheng Xiaoguang uneasily looked at him and continued, "But if you insist on changing our current relations.h.i.+p, I'm afraid that we can't even be friends in the end."
